Bro. Mills OF the New Northwest
Mt the close OF an editorial on the
diamond robbery scandal, in which
ex-Gov. Crosby figures, says: "And,
notwithstanding a somewhat apa-
thetic disposition as to scandals gen.
orally, We confess We would read wit h
much interest just how such report
had origin" 1t would be interesting
indeed. The ex-Gov's proclivities for
parlor pastimes are notorious, but
how he could be charged with robbing
the casket that contained the precious
gems, is wrapt in mystery. (?)

For.akes His Mother.

Yesterday morning, after the Police
Court had adjourned, Justice Richard
son was called upon to decide quite a
singular controversy between two col
ored women, which threatened trouble.
The subject in dispute was a bright
looking little boy about seven or eight
years old. One woman was his
mother, but the other claimed that he
belonged to her. After hearing the
statement of both parties Justice
Richardson made them stand apart and
told Charlie to go with the one he
wantedto live with. He, without hesita-
ton, went with the mother by adop-
ton and left his real parent weeping
bitterly. Justice Richardson told her
to test the matter in the Hastings Court.

charged with Gambling-Team
Observation-Disclosures Items.

Yesterday morning several young
colored men were before the Mayors
Court charged with unlawful gaming.
The case attracted a large crowd of the
colored element. Complaint having
been made to Captain Lipscomb, Chief
of Police, he and Officer Jones on Mon
day night raided the house in which the
playing was done, near the Petersburg
crossing, and the parties were captured.
Cards in abundance were found.
The evidence showed that the play
ing was in a private house, and there
being nothing to show that as much as
$40 was lost in day, the case was dis
missed.
The driver OF one of the Richmond
Ice Company's two-horss wagons was
before the court, charged with cruel
treatment TO his horses in putting on
more weight than the law allows. Ere
quent complaints had been made before
the case was reported. The wagon and
ice weighed $3.50 pounds, and the
driver was trying to make the team
pull up the Hull-street hill in front Of
the courthouse. The case was con-
tinued until this morning.
General satisfaction and pleasure is
expressed at the idea OF the senatorial
and legislative conventions being held
in this city. The last convention was
held at Bon Air.
George Washington, the colored
youth who was hurt by jumping from a
train Monday morning, is getting on
very well. 1t is said he will soon re-
cover.
A fifteen-minute schedule was tried
on the street railway Monday, but il
had to be abandoned yesterday and the

When the case was called Mr.. Edgar
